Default Tiquan Underwood the one that got away?

watching the Bucs game and Tiquan made a nice TD grab on the first drive. Looking at all the options we had on are roster at WR Tiquan has actually been the most impressive player we cut.

Coming into this game he has 6 catches for 119 yards in 3 games. Not all pro numbers but he is only 25yrs old and has a good skill set at 6'1 with good athleticism.

If the team used Slater a bit more on offense as a low depth WR,which I don't know why they don't,he would have similar numbers IMO

Slater has speed and from the few catches I have seen he might have the hands too,but for some reason they opt to keep him solely at STs

He couldn't catch or run routes, there's a reason he didn't stick around.

Yeah, the Pats WRs are held to higher standards than other teams' WRs. Underwood did not pass the Brady test.

It was a routine catch. Not trying to denigrate Tiquan, but who was he going to beat out? And don't tell me Edelman.

While it would have been nice to keep Underwood and develop him, who do you cut to make room for him?

Don't forget that during the offseason it appeared that the Pats would also have Jabar Gaffney (or possibly Donte Stallworth) on their roster this season. Prior to Gaffney's unforeseen hamstring injury, at the time of Underwood's release I don't see how the Pats could have made room for him on the roster.
